New England is about a 6.5-point favorite in Sunday’s AFC Championship Game, with a total of 54.  Check our odds page for updated lines and totals.

The Patriots’ Rob Gronkowski (-170 to score a TD) and Colts’ Andrew Luck (2 TD passes) will be at the forefront of his team’s respective offensive attacks and are featured on the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook’s props board.

While -170 may be a steep price, the numbers warrant faith in Gronk’s ability to find pay dirt. He’s scored in each of his last four games and is nearly impossible to cover when the Pats venture into the red zone – an area in which they should spend plenty of time considering the Colts’ lack of a dominant defense. He crossed the plane the last time he played the Colts on Nov. 16, and we expect him to do so again Sunday.

We’re also taking the OVER on Luck tossing two TD passes. While the Patriots boast an opportunistic defense, we don’t expect them to shut down Luck, who has been strengthening his case to join the game’s elite tier of quarterbacks.
